Extended support for Microsoft XP-based OSs provided
Although Window XP security fixes from Microsoft have ended, DFI has introduced a solution to extend support and services for Microsoft XP-based embedded systems. As announced previously, after 8th April 2014 there will be no more security updates or technical support for Windows XP operating systems. However, Microsoft has clarified that some of its XP embedded product line will have extended support until 2019.
As a Windows Embedded Partner, DFI will be assisting customers in migrating to other XP-based operating systems without changing applications. Customers have two choices of operating systems to migrate to: Windows Embedded Standard 2009 and Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. Originally released in 2008, the former is an updated release of the toolkit and componentised version of Windows XP. The latter, released in 2009, reflects the updates available in Windows Embedded Standard 2009.
Support for Windows Embedded Standard 2009 will end in on 8th January 2014, while support for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 will end on 9th April 2014. According to DFI, migrating to Windows Embedded Standard 2009 is the best choice for customers who do not want to change their applications but still need long-term technical support.
